S3 is de afgelopen week weer lekker aan het programmeren geslagen met als resultaat een reeks nieuwe drivers en bios-updates:
- Diamond Stealth III S540 BIOS. Voor elke kaartrevisie is een andere versie nodig: PCI, AGP rev. 4a09, rev. 4a0f, rev. 4809.
1. Resolve issues with PCI SCSI cards
2. Resolve issues with Advanced Power Management
3. Addresses reported lockups in certain Via chipset motherboards.

In de readme is niets te vinden over verbeteringen, wel over wat nog niet werkt:[/break] The Gamma Scheme resets to the last or 'default' setting when the color depth is changed between 16bit and 32bit. Any previously set Gamma Scheme will be restored when that color depth is selected Here is a list of applications known to have issues in this current revision of drivers. We hope to address these issues in a future driver release. Alien Vs. Predator, Descent 3 (OpenGL mode), EverQuest, F22, Final Fantasy VII, Forsaken, Half-Life (Direct3D and OpenGL Modes), Indiana Jones & The Infernal Machine, Janes WWII Fighters (OpenGL Mode), Klingon Honor Guard (OpenGL Mode), NHL 2000, Nocturne, PowerSlide, GL Quake 1 (Original), Rainbow 6: Rogue Spear, Revenant, Slave Zero, Unreal Tournament (OpenGL Mode), Wheel Of Time (OpenGL Mode)
Zo te zien heeft S3 nog heel wat te doen.
